The film will be followed by a discussion between key historians and geographers of the Australian landscape. Regeneration tells the story of four people from the northern rivers region of New South Wales and the different approaches that they each take to living with lantana, a declared noxious weed. In doing so, the film asks whether 'bush regeneration' blurs the boundaries between the garden and the bush. Join the filmmaker and others from the School of Geography at this exclusive viewing.
